The minimum active space required
is 10 meters by 7.5 meters by 3.5 meters high,
or, 35 feet by 25 feet by 12 feet high. The major
consideration in terms of space is the total avoidance
of ambient light. The space should be painted
a non-reflective black and no light source should
exist, other than the one that emanates from monitors
themselves. Also include a low bench seating four
or five people. The entrance must be well insulated
from light and sound. Most ideal is a double trap
door with sound insulating material. (See entrance
diagrams.)
NOTE: All the tech equipment, except the projectors
and speakers, should be located outside the exhibition
space in a small adjacent tech area. |

| The Vasulkas can provide
all the equipment listed below, or share resources
with the exhibitor. This will be reflected in
both shipping and equipment budgets. |

3 self-standing screens
3 Pioneer Video Laser Disk Players, LD-V Series
3 program video laser disks NTSC, color
1 three-channel synchronizer
3 stereo audio amplifiers (6 audio channels)
1 six-channel audio mixer
3 stereo low-frequency filters
6 speakers
6 speaker wall mounts
6 speaker cables
1 subwoofer
3 pairs of stereo cables
3 pairs of RCA splitters
3 video cables
22 power outlets |
| NOTE: The laser disk
synchronizer used by the Vasulkas is custom built
and interfaces only with Pioneer Industrial Laser
Disk Players (2200 to 8000 Series). It is not
interchangeable with laser disk players from other
manufacturers, such as Sony and Phillips, which
require a commercially available synchronizing. |

| The position of the projectors and
screens are seen in a diagram on page three. The
primary characteristic of the translucent screens
is to show the image in equal intensity front
or rear. They are placed on the floor in self-standing
frame assemblies, arranged in accordance with
the diagram, avoiding explicit symmetry or parallel
positioning. As there is no singular point of
view, the environment must be constructed in such
a way that the audience will feel encouraged to
enter the room, walk around, cast their shadows
on the screens or sit down. |

| Connect the two stereo cables
from each player through the three low frequency
filters to the amplifiers, and connect the six
speaker cables to the speakers. Connect an additional
audio from each player to the 6 channel audio
mixer input and mono out to the subwoofer. The
speakers should be hung on the walls at equal
distances.

| Treble should be normal and bass
at maximum. Contrast should be high and brightness
below middle. The basic rule here is to set up
the proper deep color black as a reference to
the maximum contrast and brightness. With that,
the other components (hue, color saturation) can
be assigned. The persons installing the environment
must use their esthetic judgment as to the proper
monitor settings for maximum visual impact. |

TO START:
Power up Disk players and synchronizer. Then,
turn the projectors on (verify pilot light). Wait
a short while to verify that the installation
is starting synchronously. If not, turn power
off and on again for the players and synchronizer,
NOT THE PROJECTOR. If problem persists, notify
Steina by phone, fax, or e-mail. TO SHUT DOWN:
Turn the power on the projectors off locally
(the fan will keep going until the units have
sufficiently cooled down). After the fans stop,
turn off power distributors for the projectors,
disk players and synchronizer.
ATTENTION: the projectors may only be turned
off by the power switch on the units and never
by pulling the cable out, as the unit needs
to be cooled down (about one minute) by the
internal fan.
MAINTENANCE:
The projection lenses need to be cleaned with
a soft cloth at least once a week. |
